HEYWOOD’S second team ended their Division 4 East campaign in the Greater Manchester League with a thumping win at Saddleworth.

The home side could muster only 10 batsmen and closed on 60-9 in just 17 overs. Chris Kaye again led the way with 5-13 from five overs, Cav Hilton backed him up with 3-19 and Tom Pagett claimed the other wicket.

Heywood then slumped to 8-2 in reply before Rob Bennett and Olivia Thomas made sure there were no further alarms with a partnership of 55.

Bennett provided the bulk of the scoring with 41 from 64 balls as Heywood comfortably reached 63-2 at the start of the 22nd over.

Heywood therefore finish third in the table, just missing out on the promotion places occupied by champions Hollinwood and Denton.

+ HEYWOOD third team’s final scheduled game in Division 2A at home to Monton and Weaste was washed out without a ball being bowled.
